LIEBSTER AWARD 2015

June 21, 2015

Tuesday morning I had
woken up to see that I had been nominated for the Liebster Award.
When I had first began blogging (which was not long ago at all), I
had spotted the award floating around, but never investigated fully
to see what it was. Liebster translated from German to English means
dear, dearest, darling, beloved, sweetheart etc, and the award itself
is used to discover and interact with more blogs, as well as learn
about the blogger who has been awarded. Thank you very much Emily
from emilytrinh.com for nominating me!

There
are four rules to stick to when you have been nominated:

1. Thank
the person who nominated you and link back to their blog.

2. Answer
the questions provided by the nominator.

3.
Nominate and link ten bloggers that have less than two hundred
followers

4. Create
10 questions for the nominees to answer.

MY ANSWERS:

What is your favourite quality
about yourself?

I think I'm headstrong when I need
to be. If there's something I want, nothing will get in my way.

If you had only 24 hours left
to live, how would you spend it?

I'd hire out a dusty Château, and
throw a massive get together. We'd have a banquet of food, and wine.
Everyone would eat and drink until they were no longer able to walk.
There'd be live music, and we'd play hide and seek amongst the
hidden grounds and in the castle itself. There would be no time for
sorrow.

What are three things on your
bucket list?

Visit New York City.

Open and start my business.

Travel. Travel. Travel.

Would you rather give up
television or music for a month?

I don't listen to music much, nor
do I watch TV a lot. But I think I'd rather give up television,
because it's full of nonsense anyway.

What’s your favourite movie
line or scene?

Ahhhhhhhhhh, I absolutely adore
cinematography. My all time favourite scene is from the 1996 version
of Romeo & Juliet, with a baby Leonardo. All scenes in the movie
are so remarkable, but this particular one will always be my
favourite:

When Romeo enters the church, candles a blaze and neon crosses lit in honour to find Juliet sleeping. It gets me every time.

If you could only read one book
for the rest of your life, what book would you choose and why?

Lolita. Not for it's story, it's
just beautifully written.

What’s your earliest
childhood memory?

It's a somewhat blurry memory but I actually remember being a toddler
and crying in my cot.

What is one quote or saying
that you live by?

This was in one of my latest posts
that you can read here. But it's:

"For what it’s worth: it’s
never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life
you’re proud of, and if you find you’re not, I hope you have the
strength to start over again."

What is the worst haircut you
have ever had?

I've had two, and both times I had
done myself.

What would you consider the
most valuable thing you own?

Hmm.. this is actually quite a hard
question. I don't find value in items.

I love your answer to number two. Sounds like the best, last 24 hours you can have. I haven't watched that version of Romeo & Juliet, but the image you posted is beautiful and sure makes me want to watch it!

Ahh, I love all your answers! We seem to be kindred souls; I'd read Lolita any day, too, and to travel to New York City is right on top of my bucket list! Congrats on the award, I enjoyed reading this!
